[about Neela's dying patient] I know what it's like to be close to a patient, but you're not a little intern anymore and I expect you to handle bad outcomes like a professional.
What does that mean? That I should stop giving a damn?
No. It means that no matter how much we care, sometimes the people we try to save die.
Are you actually trying to rationalize this? 'Cause we both know you should never have left that room this morning!
That's enough. Please. There are more patients than there are doctors in this place and I can't be everywhere. None of this should be news to you, this is the job.
